The Wall Street Journal reports tonight that Donald Trump’s lawyer established a Delaware LLC, ‘Essential Consultants’, for the specific purpose of paying off actress Stormy Daniels to keep her from talking about her alleged affair with Donald Trump, and hiding the transactions from the public. The lawyer in question, Michael Cohen, reportedly chose the Delaware route b/c doing it was ‘simple and secret’.

Unfortunately for Cohen, while he used pseudonyms for Trump and Daniels, he listed his real name on the document as the ‘authorized person’. Since all Delaware wants is the money, he could have used a fake name as well.

Delaware, doing what Delaware does. And we can’t increase the fees on these LLC’s b/c Bryon Short has a whole bunch of them?

Great piece at the end of the new Chappelle Netflix special The Bird Revolution (the 2nd hour, small club set). He gives a long commentary on the Iceberg Slim memoir “Pimp”. Chappelle calls it the capitalist manifesto.

His description of Baby Bell, one of his pimp mentors in the 50s, will always stay with me. Baby was an old-timer. Born in the 19th century. Drove a 1920s Duesenberg and had a pet ocelot with a diamond collar.
